I know you’re convinced that a little cinnamon improves your chili.
You are incorrect on this conviction.
Chili without beans is just spicy spaghetti sauce and I will die on that hill.
Beans belong in chili.
Beans are the foundation of chili. You can remove all the meat from a chili and still call it chili. You cannot remove all the beans and still call it chili.
Yes: Pinto beans are called chili beans for a goddamn reason. But also kidney beans in the mix (and black beans at least) are delicious too.
I can’t find good kidney beans (all the ones I find, their skins are too tough compared to the other beans) so I use navy beans instead. Also pinto beans. I can’t remember the third but it’s a three bean chili dammit who ever heard of a two bean chili
Beanless chili only works as a hot dog condiment. I don’t see the point otherwise
Keep your head held high, my bean chili brother.
Preach it louder, so those in the back can hear it too
Well yeah, take the skyline pill and embrace it
Based and goldstarpilled
You take that gold star filth and shove it. This is a skyline household /hj
Thanks for the handjob?
Where’s my Camp Washington crew at
All the beanless chili I’ve had has been made with chunks of meat instead of ground meat so more like a spicy stew.
I’ve had a lot with shredded beef, but that’s probably because they were too lazy to cut it after smoking. Shredding is easier.
I came here looking for this and I knew Lemmy would come through for me. Thanks for passing your spark forward.
That’s not completely off, but it should be dark chocolate, not milk chocolate or whatever M&M’s are made with now. A little dark chocolate is great in chili.
What about the Peeps?
I can’t tell if you’re joking.
If you’re not, do you mean like baking chocolate, ultra dark chocolate? Or like dark Ghirardelli chocolate chips
I’ve used dark chocolate chips before, yes. I think they were Ghirardelli.
And no, not joking. Chocolate without the fat/sugar is bitter, and bitter flavors can add a lot if they’re mixed in correctly.
Most popular chili recipes have cocoa powder as an ingredient now. Adds a nice bit of earthiness to the chili.
It takes an excruciatingly small amount of chocolate, if you add too much it just tastes like chocolate. But it is good. Same with a touch of cinnamon. Very small amounts just to add some depth.
Put the peeps in the chili make it taste… Bad.
These rules come from the same people who put a slice of cheese on apple pie. “It adds a savory quality to all the sweetness.” Fuck off, it adds the taste of cheese to apple pie. People also like mint and chocolate, maybe you should eat some M&Ms coated in Vicks vaporub
Chili is steaming dog food with too many spices and onions for dogs to eat. If you think your chili tastes better with beans or even cinnamon, then get down with your bad self. Anyone who tells you otherwise is welcome to not eat your chili.
“Syrup doesn’t belong on waffles/french toast”
“Cookies shouldn’t have raisins”
“You shouldn’t put butter on your tortillas”
Fuck all y’all, I’mma eat my food how it tastes good and you can maybe chime in once you got a show on the food network^I’m a Texan who will eat your chili with or without beans and I approve this message^
As a fellow member of the [If It’s Delicious Who Cares If It’s aUtHenTic] Club, I don’t usually feed my dogs a hand selected blend of peppers and spices, but you’re invited to the cookout anyways.
I don’t care how they’re picked, you generally shouldn’t feed peppers and spices that you’d use in chili. And never onions, garlic, or grapes regardless of the intended application.
Raisins in cookies is evil, the number of times I was fooled when I was younger…
Raisins in cookies is high tier. It’s got the sweet and the chew
Whoa now. Whoever said Syrup doesn’t belong on waffles should be kept away from sharp objects.
No, they should be very, very close to a lot of sharp objects, repeatedly.
Beans belong in chilli and you can wash the cast iron in the dishwasher
I agree, but then they call that slop they put on spaghetti in Cincinnati chili and it doesn’t have any beans, so I don’t know what’s real anymore.
My headcanon for the invention of Cincinnati chili is that some midwestern person read that chili is “heavily spiced” and used what they had available, including cinnamon and nutmeg.
Cincinnati chili comes from Greek and immigrants fleeing the Balkan wars of the 1920’s. they got off the boat in New York and saw everyone eating Coney dogs and New York style spaghetti.They then get to Ohio and figure that’s what Americans like to eat, so they made a sauce using Mediterranean ingredients and flavors that they were familiar with. If they had called it anything other than chili, it would be widely regarded as Cincinnati’s greatest contribution to American cuisine.
I’m an adamant defender of skyline, but I think it’s already considered Cincinnati’s greatest contribution to American cuisine. I can’t think of any others despite being from Dayton myself
Maybe goetta? But goetta might be more controversial than skyline, so maybe that disqualifies it
Yeah it’s definitely more. I think my father in law eats it, but my father was strictly scrapple. Funny enough each eats the other’s city’s gross meat.
I wasn’t aware that chocolate was a traditional Greek flavoring
No Cincinnati chili parlors hhave ever officially added chocolate, but it is common with homemade Cincinnati chili.
When I worked there, I had to refund a few people coming from Missouri and Texas who did not expect what they got (and somehow were not concerned at the smell when they walked in to sit down).
I’m from Missouri originally and my family all like it. I don’t listen to Texans as a general rule, but especially never about chili or barbecue. They are ao stuck in their ways and refuse to entertain any variation of what they are used to
And chocolate. Cincinatti chili is great
Except for when they eat it over spaghetti and cut it with a knife instead of twirling
I’ve managed to do this for decades without incident or injury to myself or others.
Some Greek guy living on Ohio, more accurately (used to work there). EDIT – should’ve scrolled down; someone else beat me to the punch.
It’s got beans of you order a 5-way like a real man
Only 3 ways and some 4 ways don’t have beans
It’s not choking, it’s “Cincinnati chili,” and you can absolutely get it with beans
Do whatever you want to your cast iron but stay the fuck away from mine.
Whatever dude. My chili, my choice.
Dude the election was clear. your chili my choice.
You put the Peeps in the chili, they make the chili taste… bad.
A pinch of cinnamon can be pretty good in chili. Adds a certain spiciness that isn’t a capsaicin feeling spice.
If you can taste cinnamon, you put too much. It gives almost a smokiness while making the sweetness of the tomato pop. But you should use so little you worry it won’t do anything.
